Van Gogh Sunflower Painting

I watched a prog moon told by a nun many years. She explained why But I do not remember why it is so precious.

It is not. No work of art is.

There is only one
People like it and value it

The name of his injury he never received the recognition in his lifetime.

OK I do not know that my children do better pictures than he.

It is interesting that what makes a person amount to something, and that applies to anything. Some people do not pay $ 100 for what someone would pay 100 million dollars. I find it incredible talent of Van Gogh (although by coincidence, I find his sunflowers clumsily implemented), while others find someone like Thomas Kincaid (yeeeech!) Talented.

Also, let's face it, Vincent did not paint pictures more recent too, so there's so many of his pictures for everyone! I mean, a Faberge egg worth more than a bottle of Coke! So something is not worth the amount that you attach to it .....

u have tried to paint yellow blob with oils?
Look again. This is a "Sunflower" / by "a painter".

For the same reason caviarre is highly valued, movie stars are paid so much, we, etc., which is humanity, set our own values based on the scarcity of or inability to hit us this dizzying heights of competitiveness . The paintings are a symbol of wealth, so as gold, the company values of reason so as not everybody can have.

I do not know why this table is as good as he is, but the fact is that - as far as I know, anyway - the mysterious character, who currently owns it, does not want to sell it, - then - at least for the moment - it is worthless!

It is - like ALL things, - are only useful if someone wants to sell - or buy!

It's a beautiful picture and as he was unable to sell anything in his life, his time on his turf right is worth a fortune when he died and disappeared. It will never be another painting

I think it is not worth much because he is dead

I do not know why the painting of sunflowers by Van Gogh worth as much as it is because when he painted them (and I think he painted over a painting of sunflowers), sunflower was a "peasant" flowers - as common as dandelions and not really much value at all! It is as if something - supply and demand - and someone is willing to pay at the time!

Personally, I love the work of Van Gogh. I saw the paintings in person (New York, MOMA in the early 80s??) And believe me, you do not get the same feeling just by looking at a picture in a book. He is an impressionist and he tries to show emotion in the way he painted. I can feel it. Since I saw this show I know it's better to see actual paintings anyone. Why is the value of the painting at this point? Because it is unique, no matter how you look.

Most people who answer the question with "my kids can do a better picture that its" children have a genius.
Where are detached from this world and do not understand how to innovate few artists like him have been.
You people must remember that he broke the mold of what was a painter.
And it was also a lot of drugs.

I think jimgdad needs to relook at the sunflowers of Van Gogh there is a good number of them he painted.

Something to do with his madness expressed by dynamic daubs of paint on the canvas. That was well ahead of the subtle styles of generation.

Some Kack pretentious like that!

You've found the answer to how Van Gogh was able to put life into his paintings, but it was just part of the Impressionist movement at the time, who were all using colors such as amazing effect. But your question is its value. It is another matter, and relates only to market forces! As.
